[ OFFER. ]
[ OFFER. ] after noticing the receiver hasn’t fed in a few days / weeks, the sender offers to let the receiver feed from them.
Benji usually reminded her to feed, but Benji was busy nights upon nights with the radio broadcasting, sometimes with her on the piano.
Armand never failed to nudge her to when whatever musical experiment she'd been fixating on had sent her into a rabbithole, but Armand had been more than busy with every vampire congregating to Trinity Gate. There was simply no time to make sure the fledgling was feeding, and well, with the young ones dying left and right no one was particularly keen on letting her outside alone to hunt anyway. It was known ; Sybelle needed to be protected, Sybelle tended to get lost or forget where she was.
Between her frantic piano playing, the mayhem happening inside the home, her very own distress at seeing a real vampire dismemberement, Sybelle simply had neglected her thirst.
Now that the situation was resolved and that the core was safely inside Lestat, she found herself simply too overwhelmed and exhausted to hunt by herself. She was thinking of finding Armand, when Lestat -- newly Prince Lestat, really -- kindly offered to drink from him. Sybelle was touched by the attention ; you didn't offer that to any young one. It wasn't, however, a light decision to take. It would make her significantly stronger, significantly less human, even if Marius' blood had made her very strong for a young one already. Was it wise ? Sybelle gathered Lestat knew better, and her thirst was screaming for her to take the blood anyway. Lestat's blood.
"I'm honored you would offer," she said softly, and was reminded of the night she was turned without Armand's knowledge and approval. That was what was holding her back.
"I'd just like to let Armand know, first."

HE HAD ONLY EVER FELT A PRESENCE LIKE THIS ONE once before. An older presence that made him shudder. He never liked feeling it when he was around the video store, a heavy one that suffocated him. It brought him back to memories he wished he could forget, but Max made sure he didn’t. He couldn’t. Observant eyes found the figure that held such a high presence, and he wondered if the stranger felt something similar about him. Despite the busy boardwalk, it seemed as if they were the only two standing there. Curiosity got the better of him, “ Are you new in town? ” rather blunt, but at least his voice was light. @desiredprince

@desiredprince asked: "Would you like to go out to lunch sometime?"
It's fast-approaching noon. Cliff stands outside a Chinese half-herbal, half-rental store, his left hand brandished with a plastic bag full of ginger and Tiger Balm, a set of VHS tapes.
A firetruck wails down the street and the wind blows. Cliff's hat blocks the sun, and he still squints against it. "When?" he asks, finally stirring. "Right now?" Something like awareness goes off behind his eyes. It begins to dim, and Cliff is soft-spoken, bedroom quiet. "I would."
Lestat is unexpected. He arrived unexpectedly the first time. He's been unexpected every time after that; none of it unwelcome.
The wailing fades, and Cliff gazes up a third-story window. "...I was waiting for when someone would ask me that."

𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄, sat an abandoned meat packaging plant. the factory has been shut down for many years, the meat hooks left to rust. the factory was condemned to be torn down in two years. the building will become a pile of rubble, all history inside would be lost to the passage of time. it was a playground for those who were up to no good.
the basement of the plant was dark, illuminated by a faint glow of candlelight. crimson puddles littered the floor, amongst the candles, sigils painted in blood and disregarded limbs. a large hook sat dormant, in front of what appeared to be damien taylor. his usually tense muscles, slicked back as he held a trembling blonde woman in arms.
"𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦- 𝘪 𝘥𝘰��'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘦." the woman pleaded, hands desperately gripping onto the grimey shirt damien wore.
"𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅. 𝒊 𝒂𝒎 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖." the man responded. he raised a hand to brush back a piece of her hair, soaked by her own tears.
the speech pattern was not his own. damien's body was invaded by a being that belonged to the hells, akuji. the room smelled of rotting flesh and was as hot as standing in direct hellfire.
"𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅, 𝒑𝒆𝒕. 𝒃𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅, 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆."
with a quick swing of his arms, he hooked the body upon the rusty hook. the hook piercing through their stomach in one quick motion. the woman cried out in agony, her eyes full of tears squeezed together as they hoped for a better end to her story.
the vessel's lips parted as if they were going to say something, only to be interrupted. they had a witness. not just any witness, damien's boy-toy.
"𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒛 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓, 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒆𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕?" (you like to watch, mister lestat de lioncourt?)
he turned on his heel, facing the stairway to the upper level. the vampire stood in all of his glory, looking upon the bloodbath with new eyes.
"𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆, '𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒕'?'"
the door behind lestat slammed shut with an ear shattering boom. the vampire was now trapped with the creature who possessed his lover.

COPIOUS AMOUNTS of alcohol . that'll help . or at least she thought it would , but the restaurant , the smell of the food , the PEOPLE . he decides sitting at the bar instead of a table might help , so the rye comes with him as he swoops down onto a barstool not particularly gracefully . her elbow knocks that of her neighbor's and she tilts her head . ❝ sorry , chap . ❞ lithe fingers hold up his glass . ❝ you know how it is . ❞

eyebrows raised in sheer amusement. the boldness of the other to sound so entitled, hurt, when louis was more than aware that lestat himself wasn't exactly, only his ( in many ways, he was, in the ways that mattered anyways ). perhaps it's the confidence he carries now. aware of what he likes and what he wants, or just the magnetism of being a creature of the night lure people to him, and how they speak.
flirt. endless hours of talking and empty promises and louis ends up going home everytime. "he offered me a drink. i was raised to be polite. couldn't refuse. . .a drink turned into two, and three." he chants up the numbers, leaving shoes by the door as eyes lock with lestat's. "that's all."
@desiredprince asked: “were you with him?” ---

❝ I was a ballerina in Russia up until the point that I was turned by my maker, Abraham. To this day I deeply miss being on the stage. ❞ The closest that she was able to get was by owning several ballet studios across two continents and attending the premiere shows when she was able to. Still, it didn't compare to slipping into ballet shoes and passionately dancing across the stage, and the crowd before her silence with awe. She smiled sadly before looking at the fellow vampire. ❝ Is there something from your human life that you miss? ❞

@desiredprince asked: "Come to coffin, mon cher."
Eyes shift from the pages of the book at his hand and then back to Lestat, his voice drawing the younger vampire to the sight of the inviting coffin. At last, claudia had been on her own, said she was too grown to have the two of them rounding her about. There had been a quiet night around them after that, routine seems to have them both on a gentle trance.
"Vous essayez de me séduire, mon chère?" But all the same, it does work to entice Louis to end his reading sooner than anticipated and move to the lid of the coffin, kneeling down. "I do not like being beckoned around." Lies. He would go around the world if that is what Lestat wanted, as long as he was by his side. Leaving the shoes on the side, he steps into the familiar coffin, the facade of separate coffins one neither of them pretend it's needed anymore, only for the nights when they are too angry at one another.

LESTAT DE LIONCOURT: ALL YOU CAN SAY ARE PRETTY LIES. 'and all you can do is point a finger away from your own ugly ones,' inspite of the venomous words that escape doctor lecter, his demeanor remainds polite, the air of a gentleman always surrounding him. to lie is to be human, hannibal thought, and then laughed to himself at the idea. humanity did not reside in him, any longer, but the illusion of it remains, if only so that he may convince others that he was not so different from them. 'what is it you're looking for, monsieur? a glimsp into who i am? what information is it you seek? perhaps i would be inclined to give it to you, if i receive something in return,' @desiredprince.

she doesn't flinch at @desiredprince's touch. instead, she stares deep into the abyss, flashes of her deed coming back to haunt her. the little girl who wanted to cheat death would be proud of her, but also terrified. it's one thing to murder a foe in cold blood and another to torment the innocent in its last living moments. but the urges that took ahold of her begged to differ, as wednesday found herself losing control to a force she did not recognize. she became someone she does not recognize. everyone's words ringing inside her head, she was a monster at last. they said it long enough that wednesday finally believed it.
lifeless gaze shifted to look at lestat for the first time after committing the unforgivable act ; to be precise, it was wednesday who finds it hard to forgive herself, not others. ❝ how do you do it? ❞ she queries, longing for something she's not ready for yet. help. she's been running away from it since she was a child, back when she was more human than a monstrosity. ❝ living with yourself? ❞ she bows to reach for the cloth lestat used to clean of the blood off of her. a first step towards allowing someone to help her.
while her knowledge was vast, it had its lagoons. she had been too preoccupied in her living life to pick up on natural interactions within any kind of relationship ; and it might be too late to take the first step forward in her death-ruled life. obsidians are staring at him, begging for an answer to soothe whatever sentiment was torturing her. there was only so much wednesday could handle, even torture.
❝ i still see them, ❞ she uttered, taking a step backward, away from lestat. ❝ their faces and how they contorted as they screamed. their hands reaching out to push me away. their bodies after they dropped to the ground. ❞ it was all imbedded onto her retina and it was a trauma she was holding on so tightly. probably the most humanity she has ever showcased. ❝ how do you do it? ❞ voice raised in tonality, echoing inside the four walls he considered home. but she was desperate and desperate people will take desperate decisions. wednesday's not any different.

“ if i didn't know any better, I would think you're following me. ” it's said idly, placidly, without a hint of accusation or irritation. theo continues their walk down the path through the gardens, fingertips trailing over curled ivy and flowers just beginning to bloom along the arches lining the trail. a vampire tracking them isn't their favorite idea, but certainly isn't the worst one. “ or did you simply miss me? ”
starter call.

⛧ back, sender gives receiver a back hug.
𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖. his chocolate hues glued to a journal filled with melodies. damien had been fine tweaking lestat's musical compositions since the early afternoon. the smell of citrus and cigarettes flooded the air. @desiredprince was awake and it caught his partner's attention. his large hands reached for his headphones thta provided background noise, resting the high quality device upon his shoulders. not bothering to pause the music, faint metal played from the speakers. damien stood from his seat, moving some notes aside into a pile.
"i think i'm almost finished." damien began, his actions slowed as he felt the blonde's arms snake around him. pulling him back into his chest. damien's heart fluttered and a warmth spread across his chest. he turned on the heel of his boot. now facing his temporary front man, his hand nestled against the other's pale cheek. always the tease, damien didn't lean in just yet. he took the moment to devour the sight of lestat. how soft his skin was underneath his thumb, how his fangs peeked from under his gentle pink lips.
"looks like someone got their beauty sleep."
